Convert Watt to Horsepower (Electrical)

Unit definitions

Watt

The watt is the SI unit of power. It is defined as one joule per second ($1\ \text{W} = 1\ \text{J/s}$).

Horsepower (Electrical)

The electrical horsepower is defined as exactly $746$ watts. It is used to measure the power output of electric motors and generators.

How to convert Watt to Horsepower (Electrical)

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = \frac{\text{Power}_{\text{W}}}{746}$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $45.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{hpE}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = \frac{45.0}{746}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = 0.060322$$

$$\therefore \ 45.0\ \text{W} = 0.060322 \ \text{hpE}$$

Example 2

Convert $70.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{hpE}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = \frac{70.0}{746}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = 0.093834$$

$$\therefore \ 70.0\ \text{W} = 0.093834 \ \text{hpE}$$

Example 3

Convert $110.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{hpE}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = \frac{110.0}{746}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = 0.147453$$

$$\therefore \ 110.0\ \text{W} = 0.147453 \ \text{hpE}$$

Example 4

Convert $150.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{hpE}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = \frac{150.0}{746}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = 0.201072$$

$$\therefore \ 150.0\ \text{W} = 0.201072 \ \text{hpE}$$

Example 5

Convert $160.0\ \text{W}$ to $\text{hpE}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = \frac{160.0}{746}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{hpE}} = 0.214477$$

$$\therefore \ 160.0\ \text{W} = 0.214477 \ \text{hpE}$$
